From our friends at Maryland Matters: "Maryland officials are moving forward with a plan to require electric vehicle charger owners to register their devices with the state — and pay a fee — so that the chargers can be inspected.

State officials decided to lower the annual fee from $150 to $75 per charging port, after EV owners and charger companies expressed concerns earlier this year that the program could stymie the spread of chargers in Maryland. But some concerns linger."
